Grilling chicken & can't decide on which sides to fix - Can you help?

Question

I've got some chicken breasts in some garlic herb marinade in the fridge - gonna cook on the charcoal grill this evening, but I'm stuck on sides.

I've thought about grilled squash & onions, mashed potatos & grilled corn. I also have some cucumber salad in the fridge. Any suggestions on what might be better sides?

I've got rice, baked beans, pinto beans, peas, green beans, carrots, onions, tomatos, garlic etc at the house.......

Thanks

Answer 1

Baked beans sound really good. And you can do them in the crock pot.

Answer 2

How about a grilled vegetable medley: slice Squash, onion, potato, and carrots - -par boil your vegetables and put them into foil and grill them on the side while you do your chicken, use your marinade to brush over them while they cook. We did something like that in our cooking class and that turned out great.

Answer 3

that doesn't sound like such a big deal. It depends on your pocketbook as to how much you want to splurge. With these days of overeating and it being so hot outdoors I would think you'd make cold sandwiches indoors and stay inside in the AC. But anyway. If you're grilling and you have some skewers you can put on them carrots, sliced onions, tomatoes and even cut slices of corn and put all that on skewers and put it on the grill but that's another total meal in itself. Chicken and potato slices only would be way too much for me. Cucumber salad (anything mayo) should not be outdoors on hot days like this.
